Ex-Trump rental agent: Fred Trump told me ‘We don’t rent to ni**ers’
A former Trump rental agent reveals how Donald Trump’s father refused to rent to blacks.
Click here for reuse options!The breadth of the allegations doesn’t surprise Maxine Brown, who applied for an apartment in a Queens building owned by Fred Trump in 1963.
“I was turned away because of my color,” said Brown, 86, whose account was first reported by the New York Times in August.
Brown’s application was taken by rental agent Stanley Leibowitz, who said there’s no doubt Brown didn’t get the apartment because she’s black — and no doubt that Donald Trump, then just 17, knew that.
“Mr. Trump and his son Donald came into the office. I asked what I should do with this application because she’s calling constantly and his response to me was, ‘You know I don’t rent to the N-word. Put it in a drawer and forget about it,'” Leibowitz, 89, told NBC News.
“Donald Trump was right alongside his father when I was instructed to do that.”

No one who comes here regularly is surprised by this. Even without someone coming forward to admit it, an official policy of not renting to blacks is the only way it could happen systematically.

I’d like to take trump back in time in a rocket ship. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ff06be12d0fe94f093913d0fa545a0919b8c9d0f67a552a805aa0eaaee33faa5.jpg

I guess that’s their version of the Oscar Mayer Wiener-Mobile?

Hey Larry, in 1955 I was in that Rocket Ship. It was parked in front of my grammar school for a couple of hours so the kids could check it out. I thought you would remember it too.
Here it is lately.

Never heard of Silvercup Bread.

I guess it was a midwest bakery that sponsored the TV show Rocky Jones.
Mostly a midwest bread bakery.
Larry Schmitt October 26th, 2016 at 10:12
Except for Wonder Bread, bakeries were mostly regional.

Ok, I did not know that either.
Anyway it amazes me that they spent all this money. Not just building it but hauling it around state to state in the midwest.

I don’t think anything recent would compare with that. They wouldn’t go to all that trouble just to sell bread.

I love it! In the 50s most space vehicles were low on practicality and big on style.
In the comic books, rockets like that would be put in reverse gear and land on their fins again.

The thing was amazing.

Here is what Hillary said about her father, Hugh Rodham:
“Clinton wrote that her father “inherited every prejudice imaginable,” from his family, including against Catholics, Jews, and blacks. Hillary didn’t share his prejudices, but it doesn’t appear that she challenged him either, beyond joking that she would grow up to marry a Catholic Democrat.”

Those were different times.
I can remember reading how much General Curtis LeMay regretted being George Wallace’s running mate.
And someday Pence will feel the same.

Black people, remember this when voting.

After the election people wishing to maintain their image will ask Trump to use the servants entrance
Warman1138 October 26th, 2016 at 18:54
Maybe some day Trump will need to a place to stay and gets told to eff off because they don’t put up ass#$#%s.
